[PS3] Infamous 2

[corduroygt]

Sony is really stupid to launch all these games in the same year..seriously it's a ridiculous number of exclusives and I have no way to keep up!

Not my problem It's good for me because I'm only looking at certain exclusives to own on my PS3.

I agree. Even if they want to rush for the NGP launch edition, there're too many big games in a year.

EDIT: May be they want to turn their franchises from titles into services.

Good thing that Amazon offers the $20 off your next game promotions, there's one on KZ3 right now, which I used the $20 off from my LBP2 purchase. I hope to be able to bounce off each game with $20 off this year

Out of that list Patsu i'll be partaking in KZ3 (Feb of course), Crysis2, MS3, LA Noire, IN2, Res3, DS and UC3.............................That is quite a line up if you ask me, more so if they can live upto the high expectations placed upon them.

I had a few issues with Infamous 1, still enjoyed it despite it's flaws though. I2 seems like it's gonna have some more creative powers compared the first game, and I'm also glad Sucker Punch is making the super-powered free-running/parkour a lot more fast and fluid too.

I hated that there was no real forward momentum for moving from building-to-building, transitioning from climbing to gliding.

I guess it's kinda the opposite of AC games where moving from one building to another was great, but actually climbing up a building took time.

New trailer.

Looking good ! More sunshine and pleasant looking than the first game.

inFamous 2: "Together we shall own all the Jujubes in town !"

 

[Gitaroo]

looks like no AA still, disappointed

 

[Bigduo209]

I know it's been said before, but Rebel lady is ugly as hell. SP had such pleasant looking characters when making the Sly games, how the hell did they come up with the character designs for this and Infamous 1?

 

[patsu]

I think she's supposed to be an "evil" companion. In the trailer, she kept persuading Cole to "own the town". Another hotter looking one wanted to save the world.

Devs usually make evil characters look bad. I was hoping Scholar Visari could be like Sean Connery but GG made him into yet another bald emperor as well.

Graphics look really clean in the new trailer. I dunno why, but Infamous 1/2 pumps me up everytime I see them. !

 

[RenegadeRocks]

Absolutely freaking crazy gameplay :

… I played the first game like a shooter. This trailer shows more melee. In fact, the richer the melee, the better ! Mix up the gameplay so that I can approach the game differently.

The 1st game was pretty much an open-world shooter, which was great from that standpoint. Any other standpoint though and you saw that Infamous was truly just a working concept.

But yeah, Infamous 2 is actually shaping up to be a better game. I didn't have any problems with InF-1's Karma system other than the separation of some lightning powers, so having distinctive abilities in the new game is a definite plus.

Melee does look great too, I just hope that you can successfully chain melee and ranged attacks for some interesting combos. Zooming in and out for melee might make chaining attacks uncomfortable though, even Uncharted 3 is moving away from 2's close-up fighting style (which didn't account for multiple enemies on-screen).

 

[patsu]

I concur ! Chaining the melee moves and even shooting would be sweet. It would make an amazing game when combined with the existing platforming moves.

I2 certainly looks more interesting than I1.

So many explosions!
